Ready-mixed concrete refers to concrete that is still in a liquid state, mixed inside a truck from the concrete manufacturing plant and delivered to the site before it hardens.

The accident was confirmed to have been caused by a malfunction of the high-pressure water supply pipe valve during the concrete pouring. As the ready-mixed concrete fell onto the roadside below, it contaminated 14 vehicles waiting to turn right.

There were no other casualties, and the construction company has agreed to compensate for the damaged vehicles.
